What does it mean when you realize you may have been making a mistake or taking criticism in a negative or defensive way on a project, and how can I adjust my attitude toward a manager who rarely gives me the space to explain and often asserts herself in the middle of presentations, as discussed in the episode How to Advocate For Yourself: Become Bolder, Braver, and Better Paid with Jamie Lee and the clip Overcoming Resistance?
I'm proud that I recognize I need to adjust to her behavior. Will this change help her loosen her resistance too?

Overall, I have a weird relationship with one manager at work. I'm going to change how I've been acting. I'm just an intern, but it's not obvious; everyone else loves me, and I love them. It's just this one person, and I need to change my attitude. Will this change help her loosen her resistance too?
